The principal investors in the South African economy are South Africans. And this is something, I think, we should really pay attention to.

A global human society, characterised by islands of wealth, surrounded by a sea of poverty, is unsustainable

One of the issues that I have raised in that context is our transport system, road, rail and ports. We have raised this before, that the South African economy has grown at a rate that has overtaken the capacity of the transport system. And therefore, we have said that it is necessary to expand our capacity in the ports.

We are a very big mining country and historically have been exporters of raw minerals. There is no particular reason why we should not be processing those further.

A democratic government in South Africa is not a threat to white people.

The question arose, how would the communities manage this land on their own. That's why the Communal Land Rights Bill then borrows an institution that is set up in terms of the role and function and powers of the institutional traditional leadership ( borrows that committee and uses that committee).

Gloom and despondency have never defeated adversity. Trying times need courage and resilience. Our strength as a people is not tested during the best of times.
